SBG Missoula Kids Summer Camp

This summer we’ll be hosting our first ever Kids Summer Camp at SBG Missoula!

Kids Martial Arts at SBG Missoula

At SBG Missoula we offer an excellent program called Growing Gorillas, an SBG Kids Martial Arts curriculum. It combines the discipline of Martial Arts & Yoga training with personal development and life skills. Kids of all ages and abilities at Straight Blast Gym Missoula become independent thinkers and compassionate leaders, learning to navigate all of life’s challenges.

While Martial Arts training is our delivery system for the development of young minds and bodies, our core philosophy is rooted in a commitment to developing young bodies and minds to be successful in life.

Children in Martial Arts based movement education programs, like Growing Gorillas, benefit from much more than learning physical skills – they learn to think differently, make better decisions, and develop a positive relationship with their bodies.

In addition to Martial Arts training, the Growing Gorillas program employs confidence building techniques and leadership development protocols to bring out the best in our young students.

  • Learn how to set goals & follow through with them.
  • Approach obstacles with a positive attitude & a growth mindset.
  • Practical Self Defense skills that can be applied to real life situations.
  • A consistent, year-round athletics program that makes physical activity a lifestyle choice, while having fun with friends.

What’s Included

Focus on self defense, dealing with bullies, martial arts mindset

We’ll be focusing on skill development in self defense and dealing with bullies.

With this comes the martial arts mindset of discipline and the necessity of hard work to achieve a worthwhile goal.

There’ll be lots of games that get children used to how their bodies work and making complicated movements.

We’ll be stopping for a break at lunchtime, where we’ll take everyone to the park before getting right back into it in the afternoon.

What’s Needed

Attendees will need a packed lunch each day, and a water bottle is highly recommended.

No uniform is required.

Smashing Success At Gorilla Cup XXI

On May 4, 2024 SBG’s Gorilla Booster Club hosted the Gorilla Cup XXI at Bigfork High School. The Gorilla Cup is a Jiu Jitsu tournament only for SBG members that is held twice a year to raise funds for the Gorilla Booster Club 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Gorilla Booster Club raises travel funds for Straight Blast Gym’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Competition Team (ages 5 & up) so they can participate in high-level tournaments throughout the Northwest. The Gorilla Booster Club was formed in 2012 to help “level the playing field” for Montana’s competitors. The GBC donates money to each participant for travel expenses & registration costs.

The Gorilla Cup XXI was a record smashing success with more funds raised and participants than ever before. 280 competitors from six Montana SBG locations filled the mats and raised over $18,000 for the Gorilla Booster club. Funds come from event registration, spectator entrance fees, donated baked goods and concession sales and t-shirt sales and the event is run by volunteers.
